Welcome to Your New Greentopia…

Greentopia is creating resilient public realms right here, right now. Through our various projects, programs, events and initiatives, we are bringing the green message home to Rochester and the Finger Lakes region.

Find out more about what we’re doing at Rochester’s High Falls by checking out the GardenAerial project and Rochester’s first EcoDistrict. Find out what we’re doing in the nearby JOSANA neighborhood with our Green Visions: Growing Healthy Futures program. And our special events and initiatives will also give you some way to get involved with what’s happening in the movement in Rochester.

Our site is vast, our mission focused: We will create resilient public realms through extraordinary ecological design, stewardship and community advocacy. Come join us.

“The Friends of the GardenAerial’s innovation, stewardship and community outreach is important for this city and our future. Their plan to complete this first leg of the project and create a ¾ mile destination hub trail connecting the Genesee Riverway Trail, the El Camino Trail, the future JOSANA trail, as well as the St. Paul Quarter, 14621, JOSANA and Browns Square neighborhoods, is a collaboration and plan that will help reshape our city and neighborhoods.” – Mayor Lovely Warren
